Bandai Namco and Amazon say no refunds as they kill off anime MMO Blue Protocol, but they'll give you 5,000 funbucks a month until it dies

.

Bandai Namco has announced that the Japanese version of its live service anime MMO Blue Protocol will be ending on January 18, 2025. After discussions with Amazon Games, the release of the title in Europe and the US will also be cancelled. 

"We know there has been great anticipation for Blue Protocol since the first announcement of the game," the game's management team says in a blog post. "We wanted to deliver an experience that is like stepping into the world of anime, and we have been challenging ourselves to create a world where each and every player can enjoy adventures as the main character of the anime. We have worked hard to prepare for the release. However, we have come to the conclusion that it will not be possible to provide a service that satisfies all of you."
